I think the bed task is last because it talks about the sprint to the pitstop for several teams. And Marcus says "Most important part of the leg for us, and our cab breaks down" when the bed is in the trunk of a car. "most important part of the leg" = close to the end?

I believe Marcus and Amani just got bad luck when their taxi broke down and that's how they are at the back of the pack - maybe right before the tobaco task?

My guess is that it's safari trip to the School,Detour at the school one where cartons are made (toys for the children - Sandy tells Jeremy to enjoy some of this, because the kids are all excited??) and/or whatever Cathi seems to be doing (clothing), then Roadblock Tobacco task, then bed task,sprint to the finish (while carrying the beds?).

the Amazing Race people stayed the night here in Malawi at a lodge called Kumbali Cultural Village. They would have stayed in Very basic accommodation in the bush and been treated to some cultural dancing etc and bathing with buckets of water and cups.. Its on the same piece of property owned by the people who own the lodge where Madonna stays when she comes here. (Kumbali Country Lodge.)

Could they be transporting their own beds? And maybe sleep outside like in TAR 7 pitstop at Makgadikgadi Pans.

“We Love Your Country Already; It Is Very Spacious” (Malawi) – After falling to the back of the pack, a disheartened racer is encouraged by the spirit of the local workers, and it’s an intense foot race to the first-ever Pit Stop in Malawi, on THE AMAZING RACE Sunday, Oct. 30 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

Zac goes running behind Tommy who is casually playing soccer with the little one.

That's actually Andy behind Tommy. He is wearing the same dark blue blouse as in the tobacco factory. Which indeed makes it weird for one team member running while the other is playing with the kids.

.

Thanks Kiki!! Absolutely right.

Here are some extra Cathi caps, is that fabric hanging from the ceiling?

But these promos have been pretty on the money, they try to tell a story ...

SO I think we see a market for some reason...not just passing by.

Perhaps they have to purchase supplies for the Detours?

fabric...what ever those cartons are at the school, even the beds?? Just spec, but if we see a market, we should ask why.

Can anyone spot WHAT those cartons are? Milk?

The light in there looks funny to me...like partially covered with some light coming thru? Does not look like pure uncovered, esp with the (I think) sign that says Book Shops hanging from the rafters...

YES!! I THINK ITS A UTURN AS WELL! if you can see there is a reflection of a stand behind their legs! their faces they would only be facing opposite their clue if it was a pit start or a u-turn! but from the looks of Ernie and Cindy's faces that is a u-turn point! nice find guys!! im guessing one of the clues in Cindy's hand is where to find the u-turn and the other is the clue you pick up after you've decided whether to u-turn or notahhh i cant wait!!

I agree...that bundle of clues and look of alarm can only mean one thing...

But hmmm....

Anybody notice anything??

because the Ernie and Cindy have the 6th clue which means they are the first team to arrive at the u-turn (if thats what it is)

HUH?

We have seven teams left.
